[–]SonnyG696[S] 0 points1 point ago

crap, me niether :(...still never won XD

[–]dimmidice 0 points1 point ago

yeah erm dude, that's not a subreddit for competitions.... if you're broke and want to win some games that's NOT the right subreddit. you're supposed to give games back after you won (which makes me feel its a pretty stupid concept why not just buy the games you want then.)

[–]darkmdbeener 0 points1 point ago

There is no time limit or maximum amount for a game to be given, so you may give away a game that is less then what you won. The truth though is that subreddit is not about giving free games but sharing a game that made you go, "Wow, someone else must play this.".

[–]dimmidice 0 points1 point ago

sure, but then why not just have a game recommendation reddit :p

[–]darkmdbeener 0 points1 point ago

It does sound a little farfetched but think about when you have suggested something to someone else (restaurant, book, music). They now have to go out of there way to try it, what happens is they usually forget all about it.

Now if you give them the suggestion they have no choice but to try it out.

[–]billydemon2 0 points1 point ago

[–]buzzbros2002 0 points1 point ago

Dat nasal drip...

[–]chris2086 0 points1 point ago

Dude it's my birthday tomorrow and I won't see any games. Honestly not like I really need anymore anyways, the sale has been great. Plus I find it weird getting gifts from people I know in real life, let alone people I only know online. I think steam needs an anonymous donation system, where user can choose to donate games to people who meet certain criteria, like a birthday etc.

[–]aluathays_clone 0 points1 point ago

Were you on Omegle the other day?

[–]chris2086 0 points1 point ago

Nope sorry wasn't me :(
